AbstractLet RG denote the group ring of the group G over the ring R. Using an isomorphism between RG and a certain ring of n×n matrices in conjunction with other techniques, the structure of the unit group of the group algebra of the dihedral group of order 8 over any finite field of chracteristic 2 is determined in terms of split extensions of cyclic groups.

Let p be an odd prime, D2p be the dihedral group of order 2p, and F2 be the finite field with two elements. If * denotes the canonical involution of the group algebra F2D2p, then bicyclic units are unitary units. In this note, we investigate the structure of the group [Formula: see text], generated by the bicyclic units of the group algebra F2D2p. Further, we obtain the structure of the unit group [Formula: see text] and the unitary subgroup [Formula: see text], and we prove that both [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are normal subgroups of [Formula: see text].

Let [Formula: see text] be a generalized dihedral group of order 2n and 𝔽q be a finite field having q elements. In this note, we establish the structure of the unit group of [Formula: see text] for any odd n ≥ 3. This extends a result due to Kaur and Khan [Units in 𝔽2D2p, J. Algebra Appl. 13(2) (2014) 9pp., doi: 10.1142/S0219498813500904] as well as a result due to the authors [Units in 𝔽2kD2n, Int. J. Group Theory 3(3) (2014) 25–34].

We discuss the structure of the unitary subgroup V*(𝔽2qD2n) of the group algebra 𝔽2qD2n, where D2n = 〈x, y | x2n-1 = y2 = 1, xy = yx2n-1-1〉 is the dihedral group of order 2n and 𝔽2q is any finite field of characteristic 2, with 2q elements. We will prove that [Formula: see text], see Theorem 3.1.

This paper proves that the infinite dihedral group is only such a free product of two finite groups that its group algebra over a field [Formula: see text] is a CS-ring in case the orders of two groups are not zero in [Formula: see text]. Furthermore, it is shown that the group algebra of any free product of two finite cyclic groups does not satisfy the condition [Formula: see text].

A ring with involution ∗ is called ∗-clean if each of its elements is the sum of a unit and a projection (∗-invariant idempotent). In this paper, we consider the group algebras of the dihedral groups [Formula: see text], and the generalized quaternion groups [Formula: see text] with standard involution ∗. For the non-semisimple group algebra case, we characterize the ∗-cleanness of [Formula: see text] with a prime [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is a commutative local ring. For the semisimple group algebra case, we investigate when [Formula: see text] is ∗-clean, where [Formula: see text] is the field of rational numbers [Formula: see text] or a finite field [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text].
